As a physician who has served patients for 35 years, I am sickened by the unconscionable practices of health insurance companies that continually place profits above patient care. Prior authorization, in particular, is being abused to prop up profits and deny care to those who need it.
Ken Jones' story is a heartbreaking reminder that prior authorization is not just paperwork. Delays and denials affect real patients, like you. Join our fight to #FixPriorAuth nbcbayarea.com/investigation/…
Seniors deserve access to high-quality care. 🔁Reshare this post if you agree
Prescription access shouldn’t feel like a game. What’s the most confusing part of getting a prescription filled? Tell us below. 💬 #TruthinRx
Physicians want to provide you with the best care, but insurance companies often get in the way. It is ultimately hurting the patient-physician relationship! If you want to join the fight to #FixPriorAuth, share your story.📣 bit.ly/4kGsUCZ
Medicare cuts decrease patient access to care, especially for rural and underserved communities. H.R. 8163 is a step towards improving that access. Make your voice heard today! patientsactionnetwork.com/action-center?…
Physician practices are under growing financial strain, and repeated Medicare payment cuts make it harder to keep doors open. See how these challenges affect access to care across the U.S. bit.ly/43WjEoe #FixMedicareNow

When the drug pricing system lacks transparency, patients are left balancing essential treatment with everyday life expenses. ⚖️ It's time to bring the system into the light. #TruthinRx bit.ly/4eN63Bo
H.R. 8163 would protect your access, choice, and quality of care as a Medicare beneficiary. Urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the bill in the link below ⬇️ patientsactionnetwork.com/action-center?…
@AmerMedicalAssn's latest survey results tell a troubling, yet familiar, story. The prior authorization system is negatively impacting patients. Click the link to learn more. ama-assn.org/practice-manag…
Despite last summer’s insurer pledge to reduce prior authorization (PA) burdens, only 1 in 3 physicians believe it will have a meaningful impact. ➡️ 95% say PA delays care ➡️ 94% say PA increases burnout ➡️ 26% report PA has led to a serious adverse event for a patient Pledges aren’t enough. Patients deserve better. #FixPriorAuth Read the full results: spr.ly/6012BBvcFM
The Patients Action Network is working on the issues that impact your care—and you can be part of it. bit.ly/48UgPoG
Lisa Bohman Egbert, MD, of Dayton, Ohio served her patients for nearly three decades. Unfortunately, ongoing Medicare physician payment cuts forced her to close her doors for good. See how we’re working to end this cycle and protect access to care: bit.ly/4fm9DDr
Policies affecting health care start with decisions in Washington. 🏛️ Tell Congress to help stop H-1B visa fees for physicians and protect patient access to care. patientsactionnetwork.com/action-center?…
Mental health is important. 💚 Join us in recognizing National Mental Health Awareness Month and the importance of accessible, quality care for all.
